I was tired of hitting refresh on my browser only to find out Compass/SASS CSS files had not yet been compiled.
To add a notification in Mountain Lion when your files are compiled, do the following:
- Install the terminal-notifier ruby gem, as instructed on their Github page.
- Git clone Notifompass into your /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/ directory.
- In Terminal, navigate to /Library/Ruby/Gems/1.8/gems/Notifompass
- run
sudo gem build notifompass.gemspec, this builds Notifompass into an installable gem file. - Insall the gem:
sudo gem install --local notifompass-0.0.0.gem - add the following in your Compass config.rb file, as instructed in the Notifompass read me file
EXCEPTIONS = [StandardError, ScriptError]begin
require "notifompass"
rescue *EXCEPTIONS
puts "You don't have notifompass gem installed."
begin
require "compass-growl"
rescue *EXCEPTIONS
puts "You don't have compass-growl installed either!"
end
end
Now, whenever your Compass/SASS files have compiled, you’ll be notified. Exciting stuff!

their earlier spamming demanding that they search their archives
and remove their spam.

If you’re not abstracting your CSS into shared objects, you’re doing it wrong. Double shame on you if you’re using a pre-processor and still not object orienting your CSS.
I created a Delicious Stack with some great links to get you started with OOCSS

Researchers at the MIT Media Lab have created a Minority Report-style glove and iPad input system for three-dimensional virtual object manipulation called T(ether). The system lets the team use motion tracking on gloves to create and alter virtual items with the iPads used as a point-of-view window to see what the users are manipulating.
